Christine McShane, United Australia Party By Catherine Watson
WE KNOW Christine McShane has visited the Monash electorate because her photo was in the Warragul Gazette at the candidates’ ballot draw last month.
But apart from that she’s keeping a low profile, unlike the bigwigs of the United Australia Party who have single-handedly propped up Australia newspaper and TV industries for the past six months.
The Post made repeated attempts to contact Ms McShane by phone and email but she did not respond.

According to the details read out at the ballot draw, she lives in Oakleigh. In the 2019 federal election she stood for the United Australia Party in the Flinders electorate.
Despite not being a local candidate, Ms McShane will probably do quite well given that the party’s founder billionaire mining magnate Clive Palmer has spent an estimated $70 million on advertising in the lead-up to the budget.
With the four minor parties swapping preferences, she might just edge ahead of the Greens.
Her page on the UAP website gives the following limited information: “Christine has a deep love for Melbourne and its diverse cultural experiences. She is currently a Sales Agent calling on her pharmacy clients. Christine first stepped into politics for UAP in 2019. Since then, her passion and fire to support the community has grown even deeper.
Christine says: “I feel an obligation to the people who have come before us who possibly need help and support in their older years. This ever-changing world can be bewildering – even before the pandemic started. Community means all of us assisting each other to ensure the greater good and best livelihood for everyone in this wonderful State.”
